Home Balance off by $750+ trillion

My balances are off by over 750 Trillion (yes, trillion)
on my home, account balances and budgeting/cash flow
pages. However, they are correct in the register. Correct
starting balances, correct ending balances.

This happened after getting a new computer, changing from
Win200Pro to XP. Both computers used Money 2003 Deluxe.
I've uninstalled/reintalled money, restored my back-up
serveral times, and this is still happening (even to my
previous years archives). I ran the money update. I tried
using start=>run=>msmoney -s as was suggested in a few
previous posts, but that didn't do the trick, either.
I'm not sure what the File=>repair money file is that I
saw in a post, but I can't find that in any of the menus
on my money file.

Can anyone please help????

File|Repair is a newer way to get at msmoney -s. I believe it was added to
M04. Have you tried the most recent salv.exe? There's a link to get it from
Microsoft in the FAQ at http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=104.

Scour your file for the offending Trillion Dollar entry and delete it.
Re-enter the correct information. Then run salvage.

Has anyone discovered a solution to this problem?
It just happened to me.

See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=104. There is no one size fits all
answer to your question.

Buzz,

I've had this problem myself.

Try to locate the offending transaction. Look through all of you account
registers. You should be able to find and delete the offending entry then
re-enter the correct data from your bank or brokerage statements.

After correcting, run the salvage utility (...money -s)

2 questions:

Do you have separate partitions for Windows/Program Files and Data files?
(My Documents)

Is your Money data file on a different partition than your Program Files?
This might or might not make a difference.

In my case I DO have separate partitions. I have been able to pretty much
eliminate corrupting my Money data file by creating a swap file in my Data
partition as well as my Windows/Program Files partition.

If you have separate partitions and need help setting up a swap file, just
reply and I'll try to guide you through it.

Best of luck. I know what your going through.

Kevin
